The New Orleans Pelicans and the state legislature are teaming up to host the 10th annual House vs. Senate charity basketball game on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Baton Rouge at the LSU’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

The game, which is free to the public, will feature state representatives competing against senators in a full-court basketball game. Pelicans forward Jason Smith is expected to attend, along
with Hugo, the Honeybees, Buzz Patrol and in-game emcee Rob Nice.

Silent auction items will be
provided by the Pelicans and Saints. As
in previous years, HoopLa will raise money to provide a refurbished basketball
court in a participating legislator's district.There also will be a youth basketball clinic conducted prior to the game, but the participants have already been pre-selected.
